CHÂTEAU LATOUR 1985

Wine 1985 1er Cru Classé  Bordeaux Pauillac

1985 is a great vintage in Bordeaux red and in the Pauillac appellation. This excellence is confirmed at Château Latour with a well-balanced Premier Grand Cru Classé. On the nose, notes of vanilla, caramel and red fruits. On the palate, Château Latour 1985 is elegant and concentrated. A great wine that can be drunk or kept for several years because it has great aging potential.

I’ve gone with the 1985 as it is fully tertiary in character but still majestic, and truly at a wonderful moment to drink, rippling with creamy raspberry and blackberry fruits, with the lingering memories of toast, soft leather and mint leaf providing a mouthwatering finish.

Strong ruby garnet, delicately under-ochred, broader water rim. On the nose fine plum note, fine bitter chocolate, fine nuances of eucalyptus, delicately of caramel. On the palate juicy sweetness, chocolatey touch, powerful tannins, fresh acid structure, adheres well, present tannins, powerful body, has depth, delicate cherry jam, delicately of caramel, sweet berry fruit in the finish, a very vital wine, from which a good drinking animation emanates and which will give pleasure for many years.

Rich and ripe wine. Dark red color with an amber edge. Loads of meat, berry and tobacco character on the nose. Very rich. Full-bodied, with soft, velvety tannins and a long, ultraripe fruit finish. Still very fresh and young.Latour vertical.

A open-knit expresssive savoury nose. Quite open on the palate with rich coffee infused fruits. Approaching maturity. More enjoyable than 86. But not as intense as Lafite or Haut-Brion. Drinking now.

Cassis, baked red fruits, tobacco and earthy scents opened to a medium bodied wine that ends in a light, red and black fruit finish. The wine started off with a tart side and with time in the glass began to improve. Still, it’s a disappointment for Chateau Latour and the vintage.

From Latour's English period. Very dark crimson still and marked by the easy sweetness of the year. Only with time in the glass did it lose a bit of focus and become a bit leathery with a hint of rusty nails, suggesting this wine is now at its peak. It reminded some of Grenache.

Château Latour

Château Latour is a Bordeaux wine estate that produces wines under the Pauillac appellation. Premier Cru Classé in the Official Classification of Bordeaux wines created in 1855. It is undoubtedly a reference in the Médoc.

Created around 1680, the Château Latour vineyard is one of the oldest in the Médoc. At the heart of the estate, the main plot, named "l'Enclos", consists of 47 hectares of old vines that are preciously maintained, as they are the only ones capable of giving birth to the "Grand Vin". The 18 hectares of external plots, the vines less than 10 years old, and any declassified cuvées produce the estate's second wine, "Les Forts de Latour". Château Latour wine is an example of consistency regardless of the quality of the vintage. Firm, tannic and concentrated in its youth...

Latour is the very example of excellence, in both good and bad years. Among the greatest vintages, the château's finest achievements: 1920, 1929, 1949, 1955, 1959, 1961, 1970, 1982, 1990, 2000.
